in a normal patcher window (>=) will give a 0 or 1 message and with a (route 1) a bang can be created.

to get a bang from a gen (>=) do I have to use something like peakamp outside gen?

or can gen create a bang from inside gen and send a bang back outside?

I am sending ( >=) inside gen a simple signal 1. or 0. and hope to get a bang from 1.

gen-to-bang

If I understand you, you're going to be getting a 0. or 1. signal out of the gen~ object. The quickest thing that comes to mind is just laying an edge~ object on the gen~ output. Sorry if I am misunderstanding you....

thank you I forgot about edge~, i can have that just sit outside gen and report.

Since everything in gen~ happens sample-by-sample at signal rate, that outside convert is the way to go. Always....

gen >= to bang
